Well, Finally closed on our new to us Tartan 40 today. check is in the mail
and by this time tomorrow she will be all ours! The loan company got her
documented for us and did the whole title search and all that. (charged like
$600!) The weather is really nasty out there at the moment with big seas and
north winds so maybe by next weekend, things will settle down enough for an
outside delivery home. If not we can go inside, through the east river, up LIS
and take the extra day or two. Not completely sure of our landing point yet.
There is a guy with a mooring near where we had the Newport Rendezvous I could
get for "a deal" for a couple of weeks or, maybe I'll just head back to
Westport point. From there I'll have to decide where to winter her. She needs
some cosmetics I'd like to have done and haven't quite decided where that'll
happen yet. I've been talking with a delivery captain over the last few weeks
as things progressed and will be using him to help get the boat home with me
and maybe another hired hand. Anyone feel like a Tom's river, NJ to somewhere
around the places mentioned delivery sometime soon? Anyway, we're delighted
about the new boat, we had all the survey items addressed by the yard where she
has been kept her whole life, which were really quite few, and had the old
diesel pumped out and 25 gallons of fresh to replace it. I think we're in good
shape! Danny1985 Tartan 40Vagabond at the moment (that would be a good boat
name!! Vagabond)
